On Thursday 18th January we were invited to the Youth Focus North East 'North East Young People's Awards' which were held at The Baltic, Gateshead Quayside.
The group called 'My beautiful heart' are a group of young people we have been working with to raise awareness of organ donation. As a result of weeks of work the group produced a film, song and drama production which will be performed in local primary schools highlighting the importance of being healthy and looking after your organs from a young age. The group were nominated in the Health and Well being category and were delighted, that despite being up against some excellent projects, that they were declared the winners. Unfortunately not all of the group were able to attend but were delighted to hear the news that their project had won.
